VUFIND-789 - This ticket proposes adding UPC information to ILS drivers and then using this UPC information for cover generation; probably should be split into sub-tickets. Feel free to comment if you have ideas on this.

VUFIND-790 - This ticket contains some discussion about customizing the sort order of record holdings; it was eventually closed as “won't fix” because no core changes were needed to meet the need.

The master branch has been updated to use the latest ZF2 release, 2.1.5.

2.0RC1 has been released on schedule.

There was some discussion of whether we should deprecate tag searches performed through the standard search box (since they work differently from the “real” Solr-based searches); perhaps redirecting to the Tag module would be preferable. Al mentioned that tags are fairly heavily used in his consortium, so we definitely should not eliminate searches entirely. Demian definitely wants to avoid losing functionality; just looking for a better approach to a somewhat awkward feature. Probably worth discussing in more depth with a larger crowd.

3. Linked Data

No news this week.

4. VuFind Summit 2013

5. Other Topics?

Benjamin mentioned that the Pennsylvania State Library is now using VuFind exclusively.

He also commented that search seems faster since the search refactoring was completed, though he hasn't done benchmarking to prove it.
